We’re taking The Big Take to DC. Every Thursday, Bloomberg’s Saleha Mohsin digs into how money, politics, and power shapes Washington - and the consequences for voters across America.


Big Take DC

From inflation data to unemployment rates, the US government releases numbers every month that move markets and shape policies. But the agencies responsible for gathering that data are struggling — and President-elect Donald Trump’s promise to find cuts across agencies could further strain their resources.
 
On today’s Big Take DC podcast, Bloomberg economics editor Molly Smith joins host Saleha Mohsin to dig into what’s at stake if the federal government scales back on its investment in economic data.

Former President Donald Trump’s landslide win was called before some caucus sites had even started debating. And the race for No. 2? Ron DeSantis won, with Nikki Haley coming in third.
 
Big Take DC host Saleha Mohsin is joined by Bloomberg’s Nancy Cook and Josh Green to unpack the outcome of the caucuses, what it means for the Republican party, and what it could tell us about the 2024 presidential race ahead.

Bonus: Trump Wins Big in Iowa With DeSantis a Distant Runner-Up

The biggest individual donors have been notably absent in the GOP primaries: Wall Street investors. 
 
So far, big investors haven’t opened their wallets for Republican frontrunner and former President Donald Trump. But they haven’t rallied around any of his challengers, either. In fact, they’re just as fatigued by the options as everyday American voters, many of whom grimace at the thought of a rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden. 
 
Bloomberg’s Saleha Mohsin talks with Kyle Bass, who is plugged into the world of political money and is close with major donors, and Bloomberg politics editor Laura Davison about what investors want out of the 2024 election, the impact of their donations and what their hesitancy means for this consequential election.
